Went here today and had a great time. 1600 yen for an adult and I thought it was well worth it. The exhibits are beautiful and well kept, the sites are numbered to help make sure you see everything. There's also a little art gallery in the middle of the walk, be sure not to miss it.
Don't get distracted by the sound of the waterfall, you'll see it at the end.

Tip: go here before going to the restaurant, you may get a discount...

There's no right route, we basically just stumbled around but managed to see every building. They're well-connected to each other.
Overall a very...

We spent 6 hours here not counting a lunch break for delicious udon. I loved the (outstanding) English translations of the interpretive videos and signs. I found the stories really moving (especially the Yoshino sisters ❤️ revisiting their childhood home and reminiscing after 55 years). I loved taking a break by the irori hearth with the elderly man who was keeping the fire going. I loved the extravagance of the ikebana floral arrangements large and small everywhere. I recommend this museum to anyone who has a heart. Take it slowly and enjoy the...
